Anyone that invests with a land banking company is a fool. 95% of them are total scams. Whatever the say and offer is built on lies. You are ALL buying worthless land although the salesmen of course won’t tell you this.

Also, who owns the land you’re buying?

Chances are it’s also the company that’s selling to you!

You’ve all been warned.

That’s true… I’ve learned in my accounting class before that land is one of the best assets because it almost never depreciates. Land banking really makes sense, because I’ve noticed they usually sell agricultural lands for a much cheaper price compared to developed residential ones. It also helps if the area has been planned well and made very sustainable.

I strongly recommand you not to invest in Walton International. They have sold many lands in the US but of them have exited. A lot of them will never will.

Eventhough the land in Edmonton, they control the exit price. They based on their selling price and created an exit offer price that might be only one third of the surrounding price. And the likely buyer is their related lank banking company just out to make another round of profit.

All their publish return is about 20% and it is based on gross return. But you need to pay tax (min. 22%), commission, exchange fee, 12% per annum mortgage. After all the costs, you might left with few percent or even making losses.

To get a exit is like striking a lottery, and you need to wait for 9 months to one year to get back your money. So many of the Walton projects are overdue and getting so unpopular among the developers.

If you put your money in FD, you might get just a few percent return but you can get your money out any time.

Hi!

My family owns an Agricultural Land which, we would like to liquidate. I think Land Banking is the best solution since it is very timely that Angeles City is moving towards a huge progress due to the Airport and the current construction of MRT connecting north and south. I hope you can help me find the right investor to deal with. I am talking about a 19 hectare land in Pampanga, which is very ideal for subdivision or housing.

Thank you!

All investments come with Risk. The only risk with LandBanking is TIME!….you can wait even up to 20 yrs.

Scammers will sell you “greenbelt” areas to the unsuspecting investors with forged “Title Deeds”

ASEAN Govts. should regulate the LandBanking Industry!

Somehow, I agree with you on this especially with the current flood brought by Typhoon Ondoy.

land banking is dangerous in the philippines. in fact, it already destroys us. There are a lots of agricultural areas that has been transformed into industrial parks, golf courses etc. in the end, we ended up with a rice shortages, floods, landslides etc.
Remember, land conversion in first world countries are protected by laws but in this country laws does not protect anything but the RICH. Land banking will just abuse the mother nature while enriching the big time foreign investors!

It’s indeed LONGTERM. You can use your money more to other Investment Vehicles if your a starter or newbie in investing but if you have lots of mullah that you can park for 8-15 years, then landbanking is better than banks and TDs. Just don’t forget to do your homework first in this kind of business.

Know the fundamentals!
